The Merian Survey: A Statistical Census of Bright Satellites of Sub-Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Lucas S. Mandacarú Guerra, Jiaxuan Li, Yue Pan +9
Satellite populations provide sensitive tests of the galaxy-halo connection, but studies have largely focused on Milky Way (MW)-mass host galaxies or a small number of nearby dwarf…
Probing Projection Effects in Optically-Selected Clusters with Velocity Dispersions Outliers
K. Graham, T. E. Jeltema, C. -H. To +8
The evolution of galaxy cluster abundance is a powerful probe of cosmology, but its efficacy depends on our ability to understand and control for systematics in the selection and m…
Cluster finding with outskirt stellar masses and percolation
Pablo Avalos, Conghao Zhou, Tesla Jeltema +5
The abundance of galaxy clusters is a powerful cosmological probe, but optical cluster cosmology is limited by selection systematics, in particular the projection effects that affe…
OASIS: Observation-Aware Simulation-Based Inference via Distributional Matching
Arya Farahi, Conghao Zhou, Ritwik Vashistha
We introduce OASIS, a simulation-based inference framework for scientific settings where observations are distorted by measurement error, selection effects, and other survey-specif…
Accurate Galaxy Cluster Shear and Mass Calibration for LSST with AnaCal
Conghao Zhou, Xiangchong Li, Hao-Yi Wu +12
The observed abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift provides a powerful route to precision cosmology; a key challenge for cluster cosmology is to establish…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1
Vera C Rubin Observatory Team, Tatiana Acero Cuellar, Emily Acosta +325
We present Rubin Data Preview 1 DP1, the first data from the NSF DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory, comprising raw and calibrated single epoch images, coadds, difference images, detecti…
Reaching for the Edge II: Stellar Halos out to Large Radii as a Tracer of Dark Matter Halo Mass
Katya Leidig, Benedikt Diemer, Song Huang +3
The diffuse outskirts of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) encode valuable information about the assembly history and mass of their host dark matter halos. However, the low surface…
Cosmological Constraints from Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Cluster Lensing and Abundances with Simulation-based Forward-Modeling
Andrés N. Salcedo, Eduardo Rozo, Hao-Yi Wu +7
We present a simulation-based forward-modeling framework for cosmological inference from optical galaxy-cluster samples, and apply it to the abundance and weak-lensing signals of D…
Testing the Stellar Feedback-driven Breathing Mode in Low-mass Galaxies with Gas Kinematics
Yifei Luo, Joseph Wick, Alexie Leauthaud +7
Hydrodynamic simulations have proposed that stellar feedback and bursty star-formation can produce dark matter cores in low-mass galaxies. A key prediction is that feedback-driven…
Impact of projection-induced optical selection bias on the weak lensing mass calibration of galaxy clusters
Titus Nyarko Nde, Hao-Yi Wu, Shulei Cao +4
Weak gravitational lensing signals of optically identified clusters are impacted by a selection bias -- halo triaxiality and large-scale structure along the line of sight simultane…
Association between optically identified galaxy clusters and the underlying dark matter halos
DES Collaboration, Shulei Cao, Hao-Yi Wu +10
Clusters of galaxies trace massive dark matter halos in the Universe, but they can include multiple halos projected along lines of sight. As a case study, we quantify the propertie…
Relationship between 2D and 3D Galaxy Stellar Mass and Correlations with Halo Mass
Conghao Zhou, Alexie Leauthaud, Shuo Xu +8
Recent studies suggest that the stars in the outer regions of massive galaxies trace halo mass better than the inner regions and that an annular stellar mass provides a low scatter…
Improving Galaxy Cluster Selection with the Outskirt Stellar Mass of Galaxies
Matthew Kwiecien, Tesla Jeltema, Alexie Leauthaud +53
The number density and redshift evolution of optically selected galaxy clusters offer an independent measurement of the amplitude of matter fluctuations, . However, recent res…
Optical galaxy cluster mock catalogs with realistic projection effects: Validations with the SDSS clusters
Andy Lee, Hao-Yi Wu, Andrés N. Salcedo +9
Galaxy clusters identified in optical imaging surveys suffer from projection effects: Physically unassociated galaxies along a cluster's line of sight can be counted as its members…
Forecasting the constraints on optical selection bias and projection effects of galaxy cluster lensing with multiwavelength data
Conghao Zhou, Hao-Yi Wu, Andrés N. Salcedo +12
Galaxy clusters identified with optical imaging tend to suffer from projection effects, which impact richness (the number of member galaxies in a cluster) and lensing coherently. P…
